Since the mSATA adapter available now is not of that high quality, I am thinking about make a new adapter with SSD in horizontal position, this will provide space for a single high capacity battery, and even room for a build in head Amp. I did the soldering work with eye goggles on, a bucket of sand underneath my desk, windows open - in case something happen, I can throw the bomb out of the window.

Try to avoid lithium polymer batteries, they have higher internal resistance and are more prone to damage & dangerous than the metal casing lithium ion battery. Get two piece of stock lithium ion battery, fully discharge them to the same voltage under 3.5V. took off the protection circuit and soldering their tabs together, then connect to one protection circuit.

To arrange the mSATA SSD on the side, existing zif cable will need to be extended by a straight zif cable, I did it with a hot plate & solder paste, Soldering iron will be difficult.Ģ. I intended to make all information available, however hesitating in give out instructions on the double battery mod, because this mod involving soldering (heat up) the lithium battery tabs without protection circuit and can be very dangerous if anything goes wrong,įor the double battery mod you will need:ġ.
